Post-Game Talk: ECQF Game 3: WSH at New York Rangers - Swiss Cheese Neckbeard

[Florida Ranger]

I actually got choked up watching Brassard come out to take the first star. I love him so much

Are you for real?

3 Stars:

Brassard
Hank
Girardi

Hm-Boyler

I asked them to show me some heart, they showed me some heart.

Brassard scored from in front.

Boyle scored going hard to the net

Asham scored from in front.

Stepan scored from in front.

Amazing what happens when you make a concerted effort to go to the front of the net.

Thought they would wilt after it 1-0 they didn't

Thought they would wilt after the Caps tied it at 2 and 3, they didn't.

Would like to see the same effort on Wednesday

Team is still terrible though. This is 2011 series redux. Totally irrelevant at ES. Hope and pray for some more fortuitous bounces is only way we win this series.

Again:

If "we ****ing sucked 5 on 5" we wouldn't have gotten all the powerplays. The only reason we got them was because we pressured them like crazy at times 5-on-5. So that theory holds no water. If we don't pressure them and play well, than we don't get the PPs, and we probably don't win the game.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Rangers were flat out awful.

Glad we won, but they never make it easy. Laughable how poor we were in the defensive zone.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

They can't seem to make it easy on themselves. Nash, Cally and Richie needs to step it the **** up.

Needed this one badly.

Loffen, this win is all on you! No Loffen GDT and we win

Yeah, count me in as another Brassard fanboy.

 

[Ykvrangers1994]

And that call on Richards for the high sticking was a joke... what a piece of s*** ovechkin is...

 

[JohnC]

what game were you watching? You probably meant Girardi or DZ.

I said I only watched the third

Looked like a guy shaking the rust off

Didn't see Girardi do anything bad in the 3rd at all

None of the goals they scored tonight were off of "fortuitous bounces." They were all very good plays. But I'm basically arguing with a brick wall anyway.

 

[NYRSchrute217]

First playoff game in the last 23 that we've scored 4. Unreal.

 

[bouds]

Morons played Green instead of Ribeiro, success.

Just like in the Devils series last year, Del Zotto gets us pinned easily, guy has a target when he's on the ice. Rough game for Staal, felt bad seeing him out there.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Ovechkin is a *****.

The Caps looked deflated skating off the ice. Bring it back to Washington tied 2-2!!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Rangers were flat out awful.

Yeah! We sucked so bad that we score four goals and won! Woo! **** our team!

I knew you'd post something like this; really you have nothing to say that's constructive even after a win.

 

[Kreider Typical]

i think we won but im still in shock

 

[Step]

Nice win lads!! Man that was nerve wracking at the end.

 

[Richter Scale]

...And I can breathe now.

In the DC area, so I had to suffer through the Caps broadcast. Man that one announcer with the nasaly voice just kills me. I didn't know that was a thing that they black out the NBCSN broadcast for the local one...

Anyway, good bounce back game. Sad to not see Clowe play and Powe get hurt, but glad the secondary scoring came through big in that game. Girardi was brutal on the first few PPs. Staal looked shaky out there... honestly, hate to say it, but I might prefer Eminger if Staal's vision is impacting his play that much. Glad the big guns finally got on the board at the end, but they need to be better. That simple.

And you could just ****ing tell that when the refs failed to call the borderline trip on Cally in the last few minutes that they would come RIGHT back and make some total BS call against the Rangers. Just ****ing scripted **** right there.

Chest is going to explode. Glad they pulled it out.

 

[I Am Chariot]

Wow that was a hard fought win.... 4 goals!

Is it me or do the Rangers look super slow? Or are the Caps just that much faster stronger on the puck?

 

[DarthSather99]

Stole one?

If Hank plays better, we win that 4-1. Good game for us. half good first period, half good second period, all good third period.

Are you kidding me? give me some of the stuff you are taking to watch the game next time. The Caps were all over the place, seemed to be on a power play on 5V5

 

[Maineice11]

Biggest win of the year!!!! Now the biggest game of the season coming up on Wednesday night, desperately need a win in that game!!!! #NYRBelieve

LOOK, BRAH. POOR CORGI AND FENBRO. GOD.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Also, Stralman has been terrific. How anyone on this board is disappointed with his play is mind-bottling. I love you Anton Stralman!!

 

[Stugots]

Awful? No way.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Great game. Offense. What a concept!

Very important that both Stepan and Nash were in on that last goal to get them going for the rest of the series, IMO.

POTG:

Brassard
Boyle (credit where credit is due)
Stralman/Moore
